I appreciate the feedback! I guess I was hesitate to put too much attention on me because it's a worker owned co-op but perhaps to kick this project off it would have been okay. If interested, here is my blog https://medium.com/@vivekmgeorge and Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/vivekmgeorge/.

Thanks again :)

> The floating shares are fewer than the shorted shares. Even if all the floating shares were bought, there are not enough shares to cover the short's position.

that's not necessarily true.

Quoting Matt Levine[0]

> There are 100 shares. A owns 90 of them, B owns 10. A lends her 90 shares to C, who shorts them all to D. Now A owns 90 shares, B owns 10 and D owns 90—there are 100 shares outstanding, but 190 shares show up on ownership lists. (The accounts balance because C owes 90 shares to A, giving C, in a sense, negative 90 shares.) Short interest is 90 shares out of 100 outstanding. Now D lends her 90 shares to E, who shorts them all to F. Now A owns 90, B 10, D 90 and F 90, for a total of 280 shares. Short interest is 180 shares out of 100 outstanding. No problem! No big deal! You can just keep re-borrowing the shares. F can lend them to G! It's fine.

Taking everything one can get is not exclusive to lawyers. Many engineers would rather have more information/data than not enough. Better yet get all the data up front and then decide what you need later.
I've flicked through this and it's honestly wonderful and beautifully presented, but why go to all that effort and then just render the headings in images without even providing any alt text?

This. I got an unexpected windfall last year that meant I could finally afford the downpayment on a house and in the Minneapolis suburbs (not exactly a "trendy" area) basic post-war (50s-70s, 2-4 bedroom) homes start at $250k unless they're exceptionally tiny or in poor condition. Just a few years ago these places were going for under $200k. If I wanted to live in a more rural area of the state I'm sure I could find homes going for $110k but for a lot of reasons I don't want to do that.
Yes. I had pretty much this conversation a while back with some non-technically minded people who had been convinced that by creating an ontology and set of "semantic business rules" - a lot of the writing of actual code could be automated away, leaving the business team to just create rules in a language almost like English and have the machine execute those English-like rules.

I had to explain that they were basically on track to re-implementing COBOL.

> poorer

Canada has a higher GDP per capita than UK. Its lower GDP is because of its lower population. I wouldn't call Canada poor, any more than I would call Luxembourg, Switzerland, or Singapore poor (all of which have lower GDPs but higher GDP per capitas than both UK and Canada).
I posted this because I was recently in Oregon (after the election mostly) in a heavily republican area. On the radio (I only listened because I was curious) they were still talking about down-ballots not matching up and how the election was stolen. This was after major GOP party leaders (except Trump) had already agreed Biden won the election fairly.

There is a lot of broken news out there. And it's not just fake news on Facebook or fake news on esoteric websites. The problem is that this fake news is being rebroadcast by people that still read and believe this shit.

With the disclaimer that I'm not an expert on formal methods, or on endianness: endianness is something that could be formally modelled, but it seems to me the better approach is to write code that's insensitive to platform endianness. Another approach might be to ensure such platform-specific assumptions hold true by using static assertions, so that the build will fail if the assumptions are not met. A third approach might be to write (and verify) separate code for different endiannesses. Any one of these approaches should make it possible to write formally verifiable C code that behaves identically regardless of endianness.

Of course, by using a formal verification framework, you aren't worrying about being blindsided by something like endianness, you're worrying about getting the thing to verify. If it verifies, that means you haven't made any fiddly mistakes with concerns like endianness.

The SPARK language (designed for formal verification) doesn't let you write endian-sensitive code in the first place, if I understand correctly. (SPARK is technically not a fully deterministic language but it's very close. [0][1])

I don't know if there are circumstances where you must write endian-sensitive code, but don't think there are. I can imagine an endian-sensitive solution might perform better (e.g. simply reinterpreting an array of bytes as an array of 32-bit unsigned integers).

The first amendment and free speech only applies to government, not to business at large.
It is also worth considering that the maritime bubble is employing strategies in addition to business closures that likely has a lot more to do with the region's success. For example: most people entering the region must go through two weeks of self-isolation. When infection rates went up in the fall, self-isolation became mandatory for most people when travelling between provinces within the region. This made it much more difficult for the virus to be reintroduced after it was more-or-less eliminated from the regions. With reduced numbers in the fall it was also practical to guess where the virus may be spread, which resulted in more targeted business closures. Other factors, such as timing, undoubtedly played a role. Extremely low infection rates at the start of the school year meant that the respective governments weren't pressured into opening schools prematurely (i.e. they could open on schedule) and the delayed outbreak in the fall meant that tightened restrictions around Christmas were better accepted (e.g. people could see what was happening in other parts of the country).

The reasons for bringing this all up is more to point out that there was a lot going on besides mandatory lockdowns or business closures. I suspect that it will take years to collect and analyze data to get a coherent idea of how policies interacted and how to employ them effectively. But that is all a moot point for the period the study examined (early in the pandemic, when we were still trying to get a grasp on how the virus spread) and it may not be relevant at the current point of time because the initial response tainted people's emotional responses.

Belief has nothing to do with forming and testing hypotheses. You don't "believe" in evolution or the big bang or an old earth. Scientific inquiry 101.

And sure, I get your overall point. I was Christian until age 26. I worked two years as a missionary in a foreign country, 90hr weeks, no pay, for my Christian beliefs. What "God" meant to everyone I encountered throughout that time, before, and after, is/was always a bit different. Ultimately we create our own personal God, and what that means can be compatible with honest and rigorous scientific inquiry. But you have to throw out large portions of the bible and accept that it's largely a work of art and useful fiction, and I will place $1000 down on a bet that the vast majority of "Christians" would bristle at such ideas.

But yeah, best to stay away from discussions of religion with anyone except your closest friends. Even then it's usually ill advised unless you have hours to sift through the nuance and are very good communicators.

I have a hard time believing that increasing the size of your terminal "helps reuse".

First, I do not agree that working memory is any significant limit when analyzing code, specially because one of the first steps is going to create the mental abstraction that allows you to, precisaly, understand the code. The density of that abstraction is definitely uncorrelated to the amount of whitespace. Thus, scrolling is only going to be an issue for the first couple of reads.

Second, say your patented steganography mechanism manages to fit 3x the amount of "code" in the same terminal size (and I am being generous). Is this going to increase "code reuse" by any significant amount?
The goal of those rules is to stop people importing meat and selling it, not workers eating their lunch.

Look, this is very simple: if the EU's rules require confiscating the lunch of people who are trying to do business, then the rules are wrong and should be fixed. Blaming Brexit or saying "the USA does it too" isn't a great answer when it'd be so easy to fix this.

I think the main thing I've been learning about import/export rules in/out of the EU in the past few weeks is how much life must have been sucking for years for people trying to trade with us who aren't physically in Europe. A huge number of the rules that are tripping people up are stuff that's just taken to an absurd bureaucratic extreme, like the guys who couldn't sell their fish because the Latin name on a form had a spelling error, or the others who needed to translate their product description into every single European language before they could put their goods on a lorry.

The EU could easily fix all these things and make the lives of not only Brits but everyone else easier too, but the so-called single market is basically the only argument they have for why a country should join the EU. The EU has created a perverse incentive for itself to make selling things to it as convoluted and painful as possible. That is ultimately bad for everyone, but especially for people who live and work in member states.
I think this is true, with the MIT license being the most popular.

From Linus[1] on the topic of GPLv3, he chose GPLv2 as it was the best choice for doing kernel development - giving code and getting code back in return. One of his gripes about GPLv3, IIRC, was the 'Tivoization'[2] additions. He felt it was going too far the other way.

Asking a fortune 100 to drop RHEL for Ubuntu is a tough order. If a company has a very, very tight hold on their deployments, it could be done. If a company allows for an open form of their deployments, it becomes unlikely if the goal is stability and not progress. And I say this as an Ubuntu lover. It's a complaint against lockin and not the destination platform.

The difference you are seemingly missing or ignoring is that the courts were actually evaluating the evidence. NONE of the courts have even looked at the evidence this time, not even the thousands, not just dozens, of sworn affidavits that certify that fraudulent activities were witnessed. If it's all fake and "unverified", how can any rational person justify that none of the evidence has been even looked at.

I have looked at even just some of the evidence and just alone the statistical data indicates extremely strongly that at least something was clearly wrong that would cause any good faith and rational person to at least want to look further at the data. And there are several instances like that, not even just one that I found.

For example, just one example of several extremely suspicious situations, how is it that of the bellwether districts that have all, for the last 10 presidential elections essentially all gone to the winning candidate … both Democrat and Republican … all but two went to Trump this time.

Again, any rational and good faith person would be extremely alarmed by even just a few of the mountain of suspicious events that are being totally blacked out, just like the Hunter Biden laptop was totally blacked out.

Maybe you are not a good faith actor and really don't want to or care about realty and the truth, but any decent person could not ignore these matters, no matter how much they intentionally avert their eyes and mind.
> There's nothing to do to keep them in sync: every single[1] alternator connected to the electric grid is rotating at the same speed, which is driven by the frequency of the electricity. This is a physical effect.

You either know a lot less than me or you know more and understand it better. I honestly can't tell : )

It feeks like my brain collapses just from starting to think about thousands of kilometers of grid, thousands of power stations, millions of consumers etc. (Not that the amount of them matters, just the supply or demand they deliver/drive.)

In the interest of learning, here is my model that I map the things I do understand to:

The way I (as a hardware/software engineer who started in electronics and had a brief course on power electrics) reason about it is torque, as if they are kind of sharing a common shaft and applying torque to it while consumers are braking it.

This simplified mental model would explain - kind of - how it can stay in sync, only in reality we are talking not a linear axle or shaft but this continent-wide grid where gigawatts of supply and demand can occur within minutes or even less and the phase differs by quite a lot over the span of the continent. (In my mental model this is the axle twisting.)

Also at 50Hz the wavelength of light in vacuum should be around 6000km if I typed correctly and DDG understood correctly. A rule of thumb we learned (in high frequency electronics back in electronics engineering) was that once you cross a tenth of that the normal rules doesn't quite apply. If this can be applied to power grids (an I think it can) it becomes even more complex I guess. (The simplification we can apply in "small" circuits is that we can pretend evey point in the circuit is at the same point of the phase at the same time.)

Keep in mind everyone: these are just my models. I'll be delighted if littlesymaar (or someone else) knows this extremely well and manages to enlighten me because it would be fun to really "get" it.

Edits: A lot.

Also: Just operating one power plant can be complex: I remember one presentation from former students or something about how important it was in Eastern Europe back then to be ready to cut immediately if neighbouring plants failed or cut so that your plant wouldn't suddenly oversupply and burn out.
Great. I haven't seen anything yet. If you could put HackerNews and/or your username (ameyv) in the email so I can keep an eye out for it, that would be helpful.
That's probably an even better approach, though famous people may have a lot of engagements during that time.

Maybe just make editing work like deletion/repost: Remove all likes a retweets. Then after n minutes it becomes an unattractive thing to do.

> it becomes clear that the average American has a bigger carbon footprint.

First, this is just not true. UAE's per capita footprint is 21tCO2eq/yr while in the USA it's 15.7 as of 2017.

Second, neither UAE nor the USA are close to the per capita footprint targets that we should reach in order to stabilize the climate (between 1 and 3tCO2eq/yr). Just as I wouldn't care much if a murderer killed 15 or 21 people. They are not an example for me to follow.

Regarding cooled beaches, here is a Guardian article about it. It cites other luxurious excesses that you're trying to brush off, such as : 30,000 mature trees are scheduled to be shipped to Dubai to help landscape a new Tiger Woods-designed golf course that will be bordered by "22 palaces and 75 mansions".

> Finally, there is a difference between what is possible in theory and what is achievable in practice. Retrofitting every home and building to go from gas heating to electric heating is not very easy.

> Moving electricity to cleaner sources, on the other hand, is well under way with nuclear and solar.

In practice, both of these things have to be done urgently, with an extra-focus on energy use reduction. It doesn't matter if rich people in Dubai don't like it. It is also much more easily achievable than building spaceships to Mars, or whatever other escape solution to the growing damage we are inflicting to our planet.

I am reminded of OpenHunt, an open source version of Product Hunt that was made. The only value proposition was that it was open source, but it shut down precisely because users didn't care about that, they cared whether it had enough cool products (as a consumer) and enough traffic (as a submitter).

Here's one post-mortem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10940729

> OpenHunt tried solving a problem for the content makers without providing any additional benefit to the content consumers.

> It's a nice, heart-warming mission. But in the end of the day, content is king, that's what consumers want.

> There have been many examples of people rallying around a "free and open" version of a service. They fail to realize that the end consumer barely cares. Look at voat (Reddit), app.net (Twitter), Diaspora (Facebook), even ycreject.com (Y Combinator) tried to be a thing for a while.

> If someone is able to make it "free and open" while also making it a better experience than the alternative, then it'll be a big success. But so far everyone gets that wrong.

Just as violating conservation of charge can violate conservation of mass-energy, I think a similar principle applies. And if we have "exotic matter," we can create warp drives.

I've seen "Cuties" without prior knowledge of the controversy. It is a good movie that actually denounces indoctrination (moral/religious or consumerist/sexual) of young girls. It is also a very French movie, which codes may not be familiar to American public. Some scenes are ambiguous, reflecting both superficial joy and ethical uneasiness. As part of the whole story they balance out but taken out of context these images will look plain wrong; Netflix mistake was to use those scenes as part the movie's trailer.
